One of the UK’s top economic forecasters will deliver a guest lecture for students and staff at the University of Lincoln next week on the topic “futures as part of strategy”.
Graeme Leach, who is a visiting Professor at the University of Lincoln and former Chief Economist at the Institute of Directors (IoD), will give the second in a series of guest lectures arranged by the IoD’s Lincolnshire branch with the Business School.
The event takes place on Tuesday 11th March from 5.30pm-7pm at Lincoln Business School.
Annette Wood, IoD Lincolnshire Chairman, said: “This event is specifically organised to bring together both students and local business people. Our events are business and policy-focused and provide the opportunity to hear from experts and to share good practice.”
Futures studies is an academic discipline which spans a variety of subjects, including economics, sociology and political science, to examine possible and alternative medium and long-term futures for economies and societies.
The IoD is a non-party political organisation with approximately 38,000 members in the United Kingdom and overseas. Membership includes directors from right across the business spectrum – from media to manufacturing, e-business to the public and voluntary sectors. Members include CEOs of large corporations as well as entrepreneurial directors of start-up companies. The IoD provides an effective voice to represent the interests of its members to key opinion-formers at the highest levels.
Places at the guest lecture are limited. University of Lincoln students or staff interested in attending should contact Emma Jubbs at Lincoln Business School by emailing lbs@lincoln.ac.uk
